CHIN TO MOUTH LINES TREATMENT
Soften mouth to chin lines and restore natural lift
If the corners of your mouth look more downturned than they used to, or mouth to chin lines are making your face appear sad, tired or heavier than you feel, you are not alone. Many people notice these changes gradually and find they affect their confidence, even though they still feel like themselves.
Mouth to chin lines, also known as marionette lines, are the downward creases that run from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. These lines can make the face appear sad, tired or heavy, even when you feel well.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we take a calm, nurse-led approach to softening marionette lines. The aim is to restore gentle lift and support in the lower face so your expression looks fresher, softer and naturally balanced.
Book your consultation in Lancaster and we will assess what is contributing to your marionette lines and create a personalised plan for natural lift and smoothness.
Why patients seek help
Marionette lines are a common concern for both women and men as they age. They often appear alongside nasolabial folds or early jowling, giving the impression of a downturned expression.
Patients often come to us because they notice:
- Lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin
- A downturned or sad-looking mouth shape
- Shadows or hollows around the lower face
- Deepening of folds after weight loss
- A tired or heavy expression that doesn’t reflect how they feel
These lines can appear gradually or become more visible after mid-face volume loss. Restoring support in the cheeks and lower face together gives the most natural and uplifting result.
If you want to soften mouth to chin lines without looking “done”, book a consultation and we will guide you towards the most natural option for your face.
What causes mouth to chin lines
Marionette lines develop due to changes in both the skin and underlying structure:
- Volume loss: as cheek and mid-face support diminishes, the skin folds downward towards the chin
- Muscle activity: repeated facial movement can deepen creases at the corners of the mouth
- Gravity and ageing: the lower face becomes heavier as skin and soft tissue loosen
- Bone resorption: reduced support in the chin and jawline exaggerates the fold
- Weight loss: loss of facial fat can make marionette lines appear more pronounced
By restoring volume and support to key areas, we can soften these lines while subtly lifting the mouth and jawline.
Treatment options at Beyoo
At Beyoo, we use advanced injectable treatments to lift, smooth and rebalance the lower face. Every plan is tailored to your anatomy and desired outcome for the most natural result.
Dermal Fillers for Lower Face Support
Performed by our nurse prescriber, dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid replace lost volume around the corners of the mouth, chin and jawline.
- Filler can be placed directly into the marionette line to soften the crease
- Additional support is often added to the chin or mid-face to lift and rebalance the area naturally
This combination approach smooths lines, restores light and prevents the mouth from appearing downturned.
- Treatment time: around 30 to 40 minutes
- Downtime: mild swelling or redness for up to 48 hours
- Results: last 12 to 18 months
Sculptra® for Collagen Restoration
Sculptra® stimulates your body’s own collagen production to rebuild structure and improve firmness. Over time, this strengthens the skin and restores soft, natural lift throughout the lower face.
Profhilo® and Structura® for Skin Remodelling
When skin laxity contributes to marionette lines, Profhilo® and Structura® help to improve hydration, tone and elasticity. They enhance overall skin quality and complement volumising treatments beautifully.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment for Downturned Corners of the Mouth (DAO)
Small amounts of anti-wrinkle product can be placed into the DAO muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downward. Gently relaxing these muscles helps lift the mouth corners and reduce the appearance of heaviness or sadness in the lower face. This treatment can be used on its own or alongside filler to restore a softer, naturally uplifted expression.
Book your consultation and we will recommend the best combination to soften marionette lines while keeping your expression natural.
What to expect
- Consultation: Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation with our nurse prescriber. We will assess your facial proportions, listen to your goals and design a plan to restore natural balance and lift.
- Treatment: Small, precise injections of filler or collagen-stimulating product are placed to soften lines and support the corners of the mouth. The treatment is comfortable and usually completed in around 30 minutes.
- Aftercare and Review: You can return to normal activities soon after treatment. We provide full aftercare guidance and include a review if needed to ensure your results have settled evenly and look beautifully natural.
Recovery & results
Mild swelling or redness may occur for 24 to 48 hours, and light bruising is possible.
Results from filler are visible immediately, while Sculptra®, Profhilo® and Structura® develop gradually as new collagen forms. The overall result is smoother skin, a softer expression and natural definition around the mouth and chin.
Safety & reassurance
All injectable treatments are carried out by our nurse prescriber, under the guidance of a medical doctor, ensuring the highest standards of safety. Where appropriate, we use ultrasound imaging to guide treatment and enhance precision, ensuring every procedure is performed safely and accurately.
At Beyoo, we only use CE-marked, clinically proven products. Every plan is bespoke, focusing on your natural anatomy to create results that enhance, not alter. You will always be fully informed and supported from start to finish.
